Im so confused right now, earlier this year i was compteplating selling the gt for a cobra, then switched to buying a 05 gt. But I just cant seem to let go of my car, so now i just want to spend money on it. Anyways here what i was thinking, first of all, PI intake and cams. second would be wheels, now I would like some opinions. Im looking at 18in Chrome Saleens, or DD 18in Black DD Bullits. Do you think I would feel a big SOTP difference if I went with a aftermarket TB/plenum/ and SCT Tuner?Probably throw in a K&N CAI. Shoot me some opinions, and I hope the mod bug bites you in the ass like it did me!

The first thing you can do for the SOTP feel is some new rear gears, I have 4.10's and love them, as far as tb/plenum and tuner, you should notice them, I have yet to install mine as I am building a motor(bug hit me too, my wife's pissed). As far as wheels I went with a 17x10.5 in back and used my stock 17x9 in front. That choice is pretty much what you want.

I also agree that gears would be a nice addition. As for wheels, I'd go with 18x9/18x10 Saleens.

SonicStangGT, your stock wheels are 17x8s.
